The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 495 Making it public, ashamed to be associated with it.

Their evil deeds are blatant and deserve divine retribution!
A thunderous roar suddenly erupted as Wuyouzi finished speaking.

The square erupted in chaos, even more so than when they heard that Rong Huanxuan was the daughter of the Rong family head. Exclamations, whispers, and curses filled the air.

Practicing forbidden arts is a major taboo of the righteous path and a disgrace to the righteous. To torture and kill one's own flesh and blood in order to practice forbidden arts is to call one a beast. This is an outrageous and unforgivable evil.

"You're talking nonsense! To seize the Rong family's power, you took advantage of the patriarch's seclusion and used dirty tricks to take power, framing him. You were crippled for over ten years, and now that you can stand up again, you are the one who practiced forbidden techniques and committed heinous treason!" A man from the Rong clan glared angrily at Wuyouzi and cursed him.

What exactly does Rong Qingcang want to do? He is a member of the Rong family. What good will it do him to destroy the Rong family like this? Losing his clan is like being a rootless duckweed. How can he possibly be any better off?

Most importantly, how could he be so selfish and expose the Rong family's shortcomings? How will the Rong family establish themselves in Dadan in the future?

"That's right, everyone, don't listen to his nonsense! Rong Qingcang framed the family head for his own selfish desires. Our Rong family has been eliminating evil and demons all these years, and everyone has witnessed that. As the saying goes, those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles. How can we be so petty about such a small matter..."

"The Twin Bridges of the Blackwater River—I heard that they couldn't be built back then because the former head of the Rong family performed a ritual, using two young boys and girls as human stakes, which caused the children to harbor resentment, and the bridge broke. Does this mean that the Rong family is well-versed in this so-called 'unconventional' approach?" Lang Jiuchuan's cold voice suddenly echoed across the square, his tone full of sarcasm.

The Rong family members all glared at her angrily.

Princess Tantai frowned, a hint of coldness and disdain flashing in her eyes. How could the Rong family be so corrupt? Just how many things were they hiding?
The Taoist priest looked at Lang Jiuchuan, his hand twirling the flowing beads, his brows furrowed. This woman was stirring up trouble!
"If I knew you would try to argue that I was talking nonsense, then let's see who this person is!" Wuyouzi sneered and suddenly produced a talisman.

That's a soul-locking talisman, capable of imprisoning the soul within the talisman.

As soon as the Soul-Locking Talisman was used, Zheng Yangzi's soul image was revealed. Some people did not know this, but the Rong family members exclaimed in surprise, their expressions changing repeatedly. This was Zheng Yangzi, one of the elders worshipped by the Rong family, a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator whose cultivation ranked among the top five.

He had already perished, so how did his soul end up in Wuyouzi's hands?

“Zhengyangzi, tell me everything you know and have done, and I will let you reincarnate peacefully,” Wuyouzi said sternly. “But if you conceal anything or distort the truth, I will not hesitate to make your soul disappear.”

Zheng Yang trembled all over. He had no choice. Now he knew that Lang Jiuchuan and his group had the upper hand, and the Rong family would not protect him anyway. So, in front of everyone, he confessed the torture and soul-stealing, the details of which were so vivid that everyone felt as if they had witnessed the scene firsthand, and they all gasped in horror.

Even if it's about taking bones and stealing souls, why be so cruel as to use torture to kill a child, especially one of your own blood? Although it may be said that Xi Yun was just jealous, how could she dare to do it without the head of the family's permission?
Not only that, Zheng Yangzi also told us about the sacrificial array under the water dungeon of the Ren family, who built it, how it was built, and what they did in it, without hiding anything.

This overturns the Rong family head's previous statement that he added the sacrificial formation to Zheng Yangzi in an attempt to shirk responsibility. In other words, everything was a lie for his own benefit!
"How could the Ren family be wiped out overnight? Only the Rong family head would know the answer." Zheng Yangzi glanced at Wuyouzi with trepidation. He truly knew nothing about this, so please don't look at him with those murderous eyes.

The heinous crimes, one after another, all those that Zheng Yangzi knew about or participated in, were laid bare to the public. Even though this was only a part of it, just a glimpse of the whole picture from a few cases was enough to make people feel ashamed!

Now that things have come to this, the Rong family's glamorous exterior and enviable glory have been completely torn apart, revealing its rotten, foul, and nauseating core.

A deathly silence fell. The Rong family members collapsed to the ground, their faces filled with terror, as if they could see the crowd throwing rotten eggs and splashing excrement on them.

All the guests were utterly horrified. Their gazes towards the Rong family changed, filled with contempt, shock, anger, and a hint of schadenfreude. To be betrayed by one's own clansmen was an unprecedented scandal!
Suddenly, someone shouted angrily: "Such a Rong family, such a patriarch, what face do they have to stand among the Xuan clans? What qualifications do they have to call themselves a righteous clan and claim to be on the same righteous path as us? I, Zhou Xing, am ashamed to be associated with the Rong family!"

"Me too."

"Bring the Rong family head out! You must give us an explanation!"

“The Rong family’s evil deeds are well known, and they should be removed from the ranks of the Xuanmen clans.”

The Rong family members were ashen-faced, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. They were not surprised by what Wuyouzi had said, but because after this day, the Rong family's reputation of hundreds of years would be destroyed in an instant.

Besides the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), there were also many powerful and influential people present. They would surely spread the word and sang about it. In that case, where would the Rong family's credibility be?

Everyone looked at Wuyouzi as if she were their father's killer.

Wuyouzi pressed down with both hands, his voice full of vigor, and said angrily: "The Rong family has violated human relations and committed all kinds of evil deeds. I, Wuyouzi, have already signed the blood oath to sever ties. Today, I ask all of you to witness that from now on, I, Wuyouzi, will be irreconcilably opposed to the Rong family. I will sever all ties with Rong Yiming and fight to the death. The Rong family will never exist in this world."

At the same time, Rong Huanxuan stood at the eye of the forbidden area array, her body enveloped in a large expanse of black jade. She inhaled the black, foul energy within. She raised her head, her eyes filled with a destructive madness: "I, the 125th generation direct descendant of the Rong family, with blood as my guide, soul as my sacrifice, and heaven as my witness, dare to be punished by heaven and earth, to vindicate the glorious... swift!"

boom!
And just as Wuyouzi finished speaking, a rumble occurred!

The entire Rong family estate suddenly trembled violently, as if an earth dragon had turned over, and several cracks appeared on the blue brick square beneath their feet.

The clan elders were shocked and instinctively looked towards the back of the clan's territory, towards the forbidden area, where a deafening roar came from.

In an instant, they felt something being drawn away from them, even overflowing outwards.

Lang Jiuchuan lowered his eyes, a smile playing on his lips. The Rong family's protective formation was reinforced and strengthened time and again by generations of Foundation Establishment experts. They used the formation to protect the clan, bringing blessings and protection to its members, and also drawing in the spiritual energy from the surrounding area.

The Rong clan members enjoyed the security and spiritual energy brought by the great formation. Now that the formation has been broken, the spiritual energy is overflowing, and they will naturally feel it.

Wuyouzi revealed a maniacal smile as he looked at the forbidden area. Rong Huanxuan had succeeded. The Rong family had not been entirely useless in raising her all these years.

"You unfilial son! You wretched creature!" A roar filled with boundless shock and rage soared into the sky, echoing through the heavens.
